JANUARY 2026 Book Club - Monthly Get Together
Details
Our book / film combo for JANUARY is:
Rebecca
by Daphne du Maurier
Rebecca - the original Hitchcock 1940 film.
This month we voted to go for a book & a film: a 'Read & Watch' combo.
Do the book & the film or one or the other - enjoy!
We voted for Rebecca from choices Richmond proposed.
Rebecca is a 1938 Gothic novel by the English author Daphne du Maurier. It depicts an unnamed young woman who impetuously marries a wealthy widower, before discovering that both he and his household are haunted by the memory of his late first wife, the title character.
A big welcome to all!
The Phoenix Monthly Book Club is for everyone to enjoy - seasoned 'book clubbers' and those new to the idea - all will be made very welcome.
Come and join our relaxed, friendly group!
Our aim is to choose some really good reads and have lively times together discussing the chosen book of the month in a respectful manner.
The reading list will be compiled from members' suggestions and will reflect our differing tastes. It will be great to challenge ourselves with genres or writing styles we may not usually think to go for - we won't all like every book, but it will be fun to discover!
You'll be responsible for sourcing your own copy of the monthly book - borrow from the library, buy second hand, download or Kindle etc - whatever works best for you.
